QB Terrelle Pryor will try to lead Ohio State to its sixth straight Big Ten title, and the conference is coming off a great bowl season. Tom Dienhart has more in our Big...[details]

Notes: Missed three games as a high school senior in Washington because of a shoulder injury. Committed to Michigan and then-head coach Lloyd Carr and redshirted in 2006 while battling mononucleosis (lost 20 pounds) and undergoing shoulder surgery. Started all 13 games in '07 - 11 at right tackle and two at right guard. Under head coach Rich Rodriguez in '08, started all 11 games played at right tackle before spraining his right knee and missing the Ohio State contest. Switched over to left guard for his final two seasons, starting all 25 games in 2009-10. Team captain.

Positives: Good size. Is quick, agile and light on his feet to work for positioning. Active hands and feet. Bench-pressed 225 pounds 30 times at the Combine. Versatile and has played inside and outside.

Negatives: Top heavy with a balance deficiency and spends too much time on the ground. Too stiff in the lower body and does not bend at the knees. Plays with a lot of wasted energy. Lets defenders cross his face. Does not play with any power, pop or explosion and tends to catch. Cannot connect with a moving target on the second level and is too easily knocked off the ball and driven into the backfield. Average arm length. Marginal hand strength.

Summary: Very passive, finesse, effort blocker with few redeeming qualities to warrant consideration. Was continually inverted as a senior and during the Senior Bowl week and lacks the body strength, balance and power to hold up in the pros. Developmental zone blocker.
